Question

1. Describe the process of photosynthesis. Also give its equation.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Photosynthesis is a process by which plants make their own food with the help of CO2 in the presence of chlorophyll and sunlight.

Three steps are involved in the process :

• Absorption of light energy by chlorophyll.
• Conversion of light energy into chemical energy and splitting of water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen.
• Reduction of carbon dioxide to carbohydrates.

6CO2 + 6H2O ---> C6H12O6 + 6O2
